I did something similar, though possibly a bit more battery draining.
Left the factory-fit Nokia handset brick in situ (and on) in my PF S8 while away for 2 weeks holiday.
After a good long charge it all seemed good and was never any trouble again; in fact that battery is now almost 10 years old and was still working fine 6 months ago when I sold the car!
